Dear colleagues,
​
Welcome to the 11th International Meeting on Recent Advances in Plant Biotechnology (RAPB 2026).
RAPB 2026 serves as an international platform for researchers and professionals to engage in discussions on recent advances and emerging trends in plant biotechnology, plant genetic engineering, and related fields. The meeting encourages the exchange of ideas, presentation of original research, and the development of new scientific collaborations.
We invite you to join the conference, explore the scientific program, and submit your abstracts and research contributions. RAPB 2026 will be held in a hybrid format, allowing participation both on-site in Kyiv, Ukraine, and online.
We look forward to your active involvement in RAPB 2026.
